I print mostly in color but I'd like to print B&W as well, this is the
reason I'd like getting the 3800. I already own PFP and using it with
satisfaction to create profiles for the R1800 I currently own. In my
understand the R3800 has a build-in ABW feature specifically designed
for Black and White printing. Will PFP be compatible with this
feature? Or should I keep printing in standard color mode?
The B&W printing capabilities of PFP2 on the 3800, and other two-gray printers, is based on printing in Color mode, not AWB mode. You build an extended profile (incorporating the 238 patch extended grays target), then print grayscale or neutralized RGB images to it for neutral B&W. For tinted B&W you do the same, with tinted RGB images, or build tints and crosstints into a special version of the profile to tint neutral RGB or grayscale images.
